This might explain the recent TRU sale....

This has been my fear ever since bulk ordering came about.

I will hold out hope that maybe the person you communicated with was mistaken
but if this is true then my LEGO budget has been shattered and won't be making
nearly as many S@H purchases as I would have otherwise.  These have been my
main source for bricks and with S@H prices being so much higher it makes it
very difficult for me to justify building more builings.  That means I won't be
buying as many windows, doors, and slopes.

I probably should be cutting back on LEGO purchases anyway so if this is the
kick in the pants I needed then so be it.  I won't cry over it even if I am
disappointed.

Stock up now... that's what I've been doing.  They're still widely
available.  In a year or so people will probably pay good money for
the unopened 3033 tubs, though I doubt any of us can hold out long
enough to wait for that.

Is there any rumor about what if anything will replace the 3033 tubs?

As I recall, this same rumor went around about 2 years ago. I bought the tubs I needed, alas to discover that they had not really been discontinued! Perhaps it is true this time, perhaps not.
